Starting with two days of testing, John Mousinho’s squad will back on the training pitch fully from today as they build up their fitness ahead of the August 9 kick-off against Oxford United.
Here are a collection of photos from the first few days of pre-season training over the last 15 years, including the eras of Steve Cotterill, Michael Appleton, Guy Whittingham, Paul Cook, Kenny Jackett, Danny Cowley and Mousinho.
See how many players from the past – and present – you can recognise...
